To reach the top, you have to be a part of rat-race: Tushar Kapoor

Actor Tushar Kapoor, who is currently looking forward to his upcoming movie, Love You Mr Kalakar, says that rat-race is a part of the life.

Talking to PTI here, Kapoor said he plays Sahil, a cartoonist, who is in love with a management trainee, in this film.

"He enjoys himself and does not work for money. He works at his own pace and is not in the rat-race. The script was interesting and the Rajshri banner made the film very appealing for me."

Sahil is quite unlike him in real life, Kapoor said. "I strongly believe that to reach the top, you have to be a part of the rat-race. But Sahil does not believe that. By nature I am quite ambitious. I like to think of myself as a go-getter, though in my own way. But Sahil takes each day as it comes. He can hardly be called the ambitious type, though he does have his own dreams. So we are quite different in every way. Even in our everyday lives. For instance, Sahil has the habit of kissing the steering wheel before he starts his car. I wouldn't do that!"

Kapoor said that he did not think that he had been typecast in the Golmaal series.

"I have done a tough-guy role in Shootout at Lokhandwala, Khaki. In Love You Mr Kalakar, I am doing a romantic role after ten years," he said.

Kapoor said he was being paired opposite Amrita Rao for the first time.

"Amrita and I had worked in Life Partner. But we never shot the film together. She thinks a lot and discusses and analyses her role and film. I think it is a very good habit as it helps the co-stars as well. Unlike her screen image, Amrita is a very bubbly and fun-loving person. "Love You Mr Kalakar" will bring the flamboyance of Amrita to the screen," he added.
